Target Geographies for Nutrition Bars

The nutrition bars market has been segmented into North America, Asia Pacific (APAC), Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa (MEA). The market in North America is expected to have a maximum market share of 47.8% in the year 2018, attributed to changing consumer eating habits, due to growing health and wellness consciousness among them. Consumers are well-aware about the products that they are consuming and their impact on their heath, and thus, they tend to buy products that are not only flavorful but also have health benefiting attributes.

Nutrition bars are healthy bars that tend to provide fibers, proteins, and energy to the body, and hence, are gaining the attention of health conscious consumers. Besides, North America is also witnessing the growing demand for nutrition bars, owing to the growing snacking trend and increasing demand for convenience food in the region.

However, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to offer maximum growth opportunities to the nutrition bars market, with an expected CAGR of 5.2% over the forecast years, owing to increasing urbanization, growing per capita disposable income of consumers, improving standards of living, and growing health and wellness awareness among consumers, all of which are anticipated to drive the growth of the nutrition bars market in the region.

Manufacturers of nutrition bars are emphasizing on product innovation, upgraded technology, and smart labelling to gain traction over the forecast period. A majority of manufacturers are now emphasizing on fragmenting out their offerings to reduce competitive friction in the mainstream nutrition bars market. For this, heavy investments have been noticed in equipment and ingredient composition to create a unique identity of the product on the overcrowded shelves.

Manufacturers are now pushing their nutrition bars into the market through unorthodox sales channels such as clubs, gyms, and other institutions, to directly target their product towards the core users. Besides, contract manufacturers are expected to witness a growth in the demand for nutrition bars, as new players are playing safe by bypassing equipment and raw material cost for nutrition bar production.

Detailed labeling of nutrition bars is expected to help manufacturers stand out in the crowded nutrition bars segment. Labeling such as ‘70% organic’ is expected to catch more hits, as consumers know the real amount of organic products that they are going to consume per unit, creating trust for the product, and helping to create a strong brand equity for nutrition bars.
